Security Researchers at PivX Solutions offers a Reprieve to Microsoft
in an effort to increase Internet Security
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- -----------
Date posted in ITsecurity.com: 16 October, 2003
October 14, 2003
Newport Beach, CA : Microsoft has just released a new patch MS03-040
, which renders several IE vulns obsolete. “PivX has been extensively
testing the efficacy of the vulns reported to be fixed and we can report
that MS03-040 is doing the job it was intended to. Let’s just hope users
are diligent in applying the patch and implementing other appropriate
layers of security”, says Rob Shively CEO of PivX.
“Recently, we have seen a sea change in Microsoft’s commitment to rid
its IE browser of the vulns that PivX Solutions and other third party
researchers have identified. Given Microsoft’s recent positive actions,
together with the current rise in attacks against IE, we have agreed
to give Microsoft a good faith reprieve and have taken down our ‘Unpatched’
page. (www.pivx.com /larholm/unpatched) This was done in both a spirit
of cooperation and for the good of the Internet as a whole. As the ubiquitous
browser that is utilized to access the Internet, we all depend on IE
too much to have crooks, social deviants, malcontents and crackers messing
with our lifestyles and our livelihoods. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!” adds Shively
For the last two years, ‘Unpatched’ was the pre-eminent place on the
Internet where system administrators and Independent Third Party Security
Researchers from around the world came to review and share information
about vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer. Information on the page included
the severity of vulnerabilities, temporary fixes and workarounds, test
cases and proof of concepts. About 1 in 10 potential vulnerabilities
that were submitted to PivX for review actually passed the test for suitable
posting on the ‘Unpatched’ page. ‘Unpatched’ achieved its initial purpose
says PivX’s Larholm, “It was created, updated and maintained in an effort
to raise awareness of some of the inherent and dynamic flaws that the
security research community discovered in Internet Explorer. Moreover
its end goal was to provide legitimate parties, including system admins,
the knowledge of where they were vulnerable to attacks and provide some
temporary mitigation actions that they could take until Microsoft released
a patch or a Service Pack.”
PivX has made a significant investment in time and money on Unpatched,
and now that it has served its purpose of raising awareness of a problem
and given that it has helped to usher in many solutions, workarounds
and a review of the status quo, we felt it was time to re-evaluate its
effectiveness. And, based on Microsoft’s communications, which included
their willingness to create meaningful solutions, and their recent actions
to fix the current problems, we have given them this good faith reprieve
It was entirely a PivX management decision to take ‘Unpatched’ down,
says Shively, based on the state of affairs, notably the 25 days it took
to create LovSan/MSBlaster, as compared to the 295+ days or so it took
to create Code Red, the 200+ days for the creation of Nimda, and the
100 days it took to develop Slammer (see a pattern here?) The time that
it takes for people to develop exploits against vulnerabilities has declined
significantly over the last year or two. This gives vendors like MS even
less time to develop and distribute patches and for system admins to
deploy them before the exploit’s attack.
This reprieve will allow MS time to develop and review their test cases,
patches and Service Packs in a more normal, predictable and managable
manner. In addition, PivX Solutions has a two-fold approach to assisting
with the realities of the current situation. First, we are available
to consult with system administrators to assist them in developing and
implementing appropriate security policies and measures to mitigate the
potential of security attacks. Secondly, we are developing a mitigation
utility tool that will act as a “Qwik Fix” to many of the IE vulns that
MS is working on patching presently. “This utility will buy Microsoft
more time to develop, test and release patches.” says Chief Technical
Officer, Geoff Shively.
The industry needs to understand that nobody asked us to take “Unpatched”
down. For the reasons described above, we have taken this proactive step
in an effort to be a larger part of a long-term solution. “After all,
that is a critical part of our business, Solutions...it’s also part
of our company name...so we are putting it into action to see if this
will contribute in a meaningful way towards the solution of a problem.”
opines Thor Larholm, Senior Security Researcher at PivX and the man who
has been responsible for the establishment and maintenance of the ‘Unpatched’
page on a pro bono basis for the last two years.
With as many as 20,000 daily visitors to the ‘Unpatched’ page, it has
become an invaluable resource to system administrators worldwide who
are trying to stay abreast of the heretofore free security research that
PivX and other third party researchers have done. “The bad guys will
have to find other ways to discover vulnerabilities that they think they
can exploit in Internet Explorer. We are here to help make the Internet
and our clients more secure, we are not researching to assist those attempting
to compromise systems and to take the Internet down” says CEO Shively.
PivX hopes that this action will spur others in the security research
community to join with them in being part of the solution and that this
will usher in a new form of collaboration between responsible security
researchers and Microsoft To see the new ‘Unpatched’ go to: www.pivx.com

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND CHANGE IN REPORTING ENTITY
PivX Solutions, Inc. ("PivX"), acquired by Drilling, Inc. ("Drilling")
on March 10, 2004, is a network security solutions company providing
security consulting services and security software products to a variety
of businesses and governmental agencies, including but not limited to
Microsoft, Boeing, GMAC, NIST and Sony. PivX is in the Beta stage of
development of a security software tool Qwik-Fix Pro(TM), which will
enable businesses to maintain proactive security on Microsoft Windows-
based computers and servers. Management expects to release a commercial
version of Qwik-Fix Pro(TM) in June 2004. On May 10, 2004, Drilling,
Inc. changed its name to PivX Solutions, Inc. PivX and Drilling will
be collectively known as the "Company".
On March 10, 2004, PivX completed the initial closing of a reverse acquisition
of Drilling, pursuant to which Drilling will acquire all of the outstanding
membership interests of PivX in exchange for a controlling interest in
Drilling. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
dated March 10, 2004 by and among Drilling, PivX and the members of the
PivX, Drilling issued 1.55 shares of its common stock for each of PivX's
membership interests transferred to Drilling by each member at the initial
closing. As of the initial closing, PivX's members transferred 9,898,
250 membership interests (representing approximately 99.0% of PivX's
total membership interests outstanding) to Drilling in exchange for 15,
342,289 shares of common stock of Drilling. The remaining 101,750 will
be exchanged with approximately 157,712 shares of Drilling's common stock
upon the remaining members consenting to the issuance.
In connection with the acquisition of PivX by Drilling, the PivX shareholders
will obtain approximately 73% of the outstanding common stock of Drilling.
For accounting purposes the acquisition was accounted for as a reverse
acquisition, whereby the assets of PivX are reported at their historical
cost. The assets and liabilities of Drilling would have been recorded
at fair value, but no assets or liabilities existed at the date of acquisition.
No goodwill was recorded in connection with the reverse acquisition.
The reverse acquisition resulted in a change in reporting entity of Drilling
for accounting and reporting purposes to that of PivX.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT PREPARATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial
reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. The financial statements and related notes of PivX
for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 are expected to filed
with the SEC on form 8-K filed by June 8, 2004.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of results
for the interim periods presented. Preparing financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
that are reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements
and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management's
best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake
in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates. The
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004, are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future
period or the full fiscal year.
QUARTERLY PRO FORMA INFORMATION
The required quarterly pro forma financial results are displayed as if
the acquisition between the Company and Drilling took place at January
1, 2003. The pro forma results for the three months ending March 31,
2004 and March 31, 2003 are listed below:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation as a
going concern. The Company incurred a net loss of $1,711,035, of which
$1,277,490 was a non-recurring, non-cash transaction related to reverse
acquisition, for the three months ended March 31, 2004. As of March 31,
2004, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $3,040,192. At March
31, 2004, the Company had cash on hand of $780,128 and working capital
of approximately $307,736. The Company needs additional capital to market
Qwik-Fix Pro and provide necessary infrastructure as a public company.
These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue
as a going concern. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the
Company raised net proceeds of $917,357 through the sale of 733,642 shares
of common stock. Total proceeds raised for the period ended May 4, 2004
net of costs are $1,566,865 on sales of 890,264 shares of common stock.
The Company requires additional capital and management has no firm commitments
for financing. There are no assurances that management will be successful
in its plans. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions
have been eliminated.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains cash balances at a financial institution in excess
of the $100,000 FDIC insurance level.

PIVX SOLUTIONS, INC. (FORMERLY DRILLING, INC.)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 86, "Accounting
for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed,
" states that all costs incurred in connection with the development of
software subsequent to technological feasibility should be capitalized
until such time that the software is available to customers. The Company
believes its current process for developing software is essentially completed
concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility and, as
such, no costs have been capitalized to date.
DEFERRED OFFERING COSTS
Direct costs incurred in connection with the Company's private placement
offering are capitalized (see Note 4). The Company is netting these expenses
ratably against the proceeds over the period in which the proceeds are
received. In the event the private placement offering is unsuccessful,
the Company will charge these costs to operations.
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
Patents and trademarks are recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-
line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging
from three years. To date amounts incurred were not significant.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Significant renewals and
betterments, which extend the life of the related assets, are capitalized.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Property
and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to seven
years. Assets, which have a separable life, are depreciated over the
life of those assets. At the time of retirement or other disposition
of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected
in operations.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company adopted SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of." SFAS 144 requires that if events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the cost of long-lived assets or asset groups may be impaired, an
evaluation of recoverability would be performed by comparing the estimated
future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the asset's
carrying value to determine if a write-down to market value would be
required. Long-lived assets or asset groups that meet the criteria in
SFAS 144 as being held for disposal by sale are reflected at the lower
of their carrying amount or fair market value, less costs to sell.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company has financial instruments whereby the fair value of the financial
instruments could be different than that recorded on a historical basis
in the accompanying balance sheet. The Company's financial instruments
consist of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments generally
approximate their fair values as of March 31, 2004.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
For the periods presented, the Company's revenues were derived under
consulting contracts. The revenues from the contracts are recognized
as the services are completed. In cases whereby the Company did not track
the hours under the project, revenues were recorded at the completion
of the contract. Upon the Company's release of its software in 2004,
the Company will recognize software license fee revenue in accordance
with the provisions of Statement of Position SOP 97-2 "Software Revenue
Recognition," as amended by SOP 98-9, "Software Revenue Recognition,
With Respect to Certain Transactions." Software license fees will be
charged for licenses for security software to be delivered to customers
for in-house applications. Revenues from single-element software license
agreements will be recognized upon installation and acceptance of the
software. Revenues from software arrangements involving multiple elements
will be allocated to the individual elements based on their relative
fair values. If services are considered essential to the functionality
of the software product, both the software product revenue and service
revenue will be recognized using the percentage of completion method
in accordance with the provisions of SOP 81-1, "Accounting for Performance
of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts." Maintenance
and rights to unspecified upgrades to licenses will be reported ratably.
Contract revenues will be recognized based on labor hours incurred to
date compared to total estimated labor hours for the contract. Contract
costs will include all direct labor, direct material and indirect costs
related to contract performance. Selling, general and administrative
costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses
on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses
become probable based on the current contract estimates.
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has not adopted a fair value-based method of accounting for
stock-based compensation plans for employees and non-employee directors.
The Company will use the intrinsic value-based approach, and supplement
disclosure of the pro forma impact on operations and per share information
using the fair value-based approach as required by SFAS No. 148 "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure". Stock-based
compensation issued to non-employees and consultants are measured at
fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 123. Common stock purchase options
and warrants issued to non-employees and consultants will be measured
at fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model.
The following table compares the net income (loss) and income (loss)
per share as reported to the pro forma amounts that would be reported
had compensation expense been recognized for our stock-based compensation
plans on a fair value basis for the quarterly periods ended March 31,
2004 and 2003:

The fair value of the options at the date of grant was estimated using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
the three months ended March 31, 2004, expected life of six years, interest
rate of 3.10%, volatility of 75% and zero dividend yield; the three months
ended March 31, 2003, expected life of six years, interest rate of 3.13%,
volatility of 69% and zero dividend yield. The estimated fair value
of the options granted is subject to the assumptions made and if the
assumptions changed, the estimated fair value could be significantly
different.
SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS
During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, revenues from one customer accounted
for 100% of total revenues. During the quarter ended March 31, 2003,
revenues another customer accounted for 100% of total revenues.
PER SHARE INFORMATION
The Company presents basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") and diluted
EPS on the face of all statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed
as net income
(loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could
occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and
other convertible securities which are exercisable during or after the
reporting period. In the event of a net loss, such incremental shares
are not included in EPS since their effects are anti-dilutive. Effects
of outstanding options, which were excluded in weighted average dilutive
shares outstanding because of the net loss during the three months ended
March 31, 2004, were 824,815 shares. Incremental shares included in dilutive
EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2003 resulting from outstanding
options during the reporting period were 780,000 shares.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Interpretation No. 45, GUARANTORS' ACCOUNTING AND DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
FOR GUARANTEES, INCLUDING INDIRECT GUARANTEES OF INDEBTEDNESS OF OTHERS
("FIN 45"). FIN 45 elaborates on the existing disclosure requirements
for most guarantees, including loan guarantees such as standby letters
of credit. It also requires that at all times a company issues a guarantee,
a company must recognize an initial liability for the fair market value
of the obligations it assumes under that guarantee and must disclose
that information in its interim and annual financial statements. The
initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 apply on a prospective
basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The FIN
45 effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statement
is insignificant as of March 31, 2004.

PIVX SOLUTIONS, INC. (FORMERLY DRILLING, INC.)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-
BASED COMPENSATION-TRANSITION AND DISCLOSURE ("SFAS 148") which addresses
financial accounting and reporting for recording expenses for the fair
value of stock options. SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition
for a voluntary change to fair value-based method of accounting for stock-
based employee compensation. Additionally, SFAS No. 148 requires more
prominent and more frequent disclosures in financial statements about
the effects of stock-based compensation. The provisions of SFAS No. 148
are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, with early
application permitted in certain circumstances. The interim disclosure
provisions are effective for financial reports containing financial statements
for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company has
elected to continue to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting
as allowed by APB No. 25 for employee stock-based compensation.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement
133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 149"). SFAS
149 amends SFAS 133 to clarify the definition of a derivative and incorporate
many of the implementation issues cleared as a result of the Derivatives
Implementation Group process. This statement is effective for contracts
entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and should be applied prospectively
after that date. SFAS No. 149 will have an insignificant effect on the
Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS WITH CHARACTERISTICS OF BOTH LIABILITIES AND EQUITY, ("SFAS
150"). SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies
and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial
instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. In accordance
with SFAS No. 150, financial instruments that embody obligations for
the issuer are required to be classified as liabilities. SFAS No. 150
shall be effective for financial instruments entered into or modified
after May 31, 2003. SFAS No. 150 had no significant effect on the Company
during the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Note 2 - Commitments
EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS
In previous years the Company entered into employment agreements with
four of its employees. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company
is obligated to pay a combined yearly salary of $624,000. Two of these
agreements are subject to a 6% cost of living increase. Two of the agreements
have a term of five years and include a severance pay of two years based
on the current salary. The agreements issued 852,500 shares of common
stock which have vesting periods from one to three years. In addition,
one of the employees was granted options to purchase 930,000 shares
of common stock. The options are exercisable at approximately $0.32 and
vest over a three-year period. As of March 31, 2004, amounts due on these
employment agreements were $267,674 and are included on the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheet.
INVESTMENT BANKING AGREEMENT
On October 6, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with an investment-
banking firm. The services performed under the agreement were for assisting
the Company in identifying and negotiating the acquisition of a public
shell and to assist the Company in raising up to $5 million in equity
capital in a private placement. In connection with the agreement, the
Company issued the
F-10
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

PIVX SOLUTIONS, INC. (FORMERLY DRILLING, INC.)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
investment bankers 155,000 shares of common stock valued at $100,000
upon the execution of the agreement as compensation. The shares were
non-refundable. The value of the shares were allocated evenly between
the two major services performed. In connection with the $50,000 allocated
to obtaining the shell company, the amount was expensed upon the issuance
of the shares. In connection with the $50,000 allocated to assisting
the Company in raising capital, the amount was capitalized as a deferred
offering cost as it was a direct cost of the private placement described
in Note 4. The private placement began in March 2004 and will probably
complete by the end of June 2004. The deferred offering costs will be
charged against additional paid-in-capital equally in the 1st and 2nd
quarter of 2004 as that is the period when the proceeds are expected
from the private placement. At March 31, 2004, the Company has $25,000
in deferred offering costs recorded on the balance sheet. In addition,
the Company was required to issue the investment banker 3% of the fully
diluted common stock post merger. Subsequent to March 31, 2004, the investment
banker waived the 3% fee due to the time delays and resulting hardship
to the company . Since the merger was effected, management recorded the
fair value of the shares that were waived in the amount of $1,277,490
as a merger-related expense.
In addition under the investment banking contract, the Company is required
to issue to the investment banker a 10% funding fee and warrants to purchase
common stock 10% of the common stock sold under any private placements
or fundings while the contract is in effect. These fees are due unless
the fees paid to another placement agent are in excess of the 10%.
OPERATING/CAPITAL LEASE
Subsequent to March 31, 2004, the Company entered into a new lease agreement
in an adjacent building. Upon entering into the new lease the Company
terminated the previous agreement, which had been month to month. The
new lease requires the Company to make monthly rental payments between
$14,792 and $20,339 and is for a period of three and a half years expiring
on approximately November 30, 2007. Included in the new lease agreement
was furniture and fixtures that the Company was taking possession of.
The Company has yet to determine the fair value of the furniture and
fixtures. Upon determination of the fair value of the furniture and fixtures,
the Company will allocate the total payments under the lease between
the furniture and fixtures and the rental of the building. The portion
allocated to the furniture and fixtures will be capitalized and treated
as a capital lease. The Company plans on occupying the new space between
June 1 and June 15 of 2004.
Note 3 - Convertible note
In July 2003, the Company issued a $20,000 note payable to an investor
to fund operations. Initially the note was due on demand and beared interest
at 15%. Effective October 20, 2003, the investor and the Company agreed
the note would be due on April 20, 2004. Under the terms of the agreement
the investor had the option to convert the note into common stock at
prices ranging from $0.52 to $0.65 per share of common stock based on
certain criteria. In addition, if the investor converted the note to
shares of common stock the investor would receive options to purchase
31,000 shares of common stock for prices ranging from $0.52 to $0.65.
If the investor did not convert the note by April 20, 2004, the Company
was liable to pay the $20,000, any accrued interest and issue 15,500
shares of common stock as additional interest compensation. In December
2003, the Company paid $10,000 toward the note and interest of $1,000.
In accordance with Emerging Issued Task Force No 00-27, the Company accounted
for the value of the options and the fair value of the deemed beneficial
conversion feature as a reduction to the face value of the convertible
note with the offset to additional paid in capital. This amount was amortized
as

additional interest expense upon the issuance of the convertible note
as the holder had the option to convert the note into common stock immediately.
The options and beneficial conversion feature were valued at $20,000
and expensed during the year ended December 31, 2003.
At March 31, 2004, total amounts due to this investor including accrued
interest were $10,625. Around April 20, 2004 the investor demanded payment
of the note, accrued interest and the issuance of 7,750 shares. Subsequent
to that demand an employee of the Company obtained the note from the
shareholder in a private transaction. The employee immediately converted
the note at $0.65 per share resulting in the issuance of approximately
16,346 shares of common stock. In addition the Company issued the employee
warrants to purchase 31,000 shares of common stock at $0.65. The warrants
vest immediately and expire in one year from the date of the amended
contract which is October 20, 2003.
Note 4 - Shareholder's Equity
PREFERRED STOCK
Subsequent to March 31, 2004, the Company was authorized to issue 10,
000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock will be available
in an amount adequate to provide for the Company's future needs. The
additional shares will be available for issuance from time to time by
the Company at the discretion of the board of directors with such rights,
preferences and privileges as the board may determine.
STOCK ISSUED FOR SERVICES
>From time to time the Company issued common stock to consultants and
directors for services performed. During the period ending March 31,
2004, the Company issued a total of 54,250 shares of common stock valued
at $57,500. The Company did not issue any shares of common stock for
services during the period ending March 31, 2003.
On September 11, 2002, the Company entered into an employment agreement
with its president and chief operating officer. Under the terms of the
agreement, the Company issued 620,000 shares of Company's common stock,
which vest over the period of one year. The shares were valued at $80,
000 based on estimated fair market value of the Company's common stock
at the time of grant. The value of the shares were recorded as compensation
expense and expensed ratably over the vesting period of one year. During
the three months ended March 31, 2003, $20,000 was expensed.
On September 6, 2003, the Company entered into an employment agreement
with its senior security researcher. Under the terms of the agreement
the Company granted 232,500 shares of Company's common stock. The shares
vest 20% on December 31, 2003, with the remainder 80% vesting equally
over the next two anniversary dates of the agreement. The shares were
valued at $150,000 based on estimated fair market value of the Company's
shares of common stock at the time of grant. The value of the shares
is being expensed ratably over the vesting period. During the three months
ended March 31, 2004, $15,000 was expensed, however the shares have yet
to be issued. The Company has recorded a $45,000 cumulative liability
in accrued liabilities on the accompanying balance sheet at March 31,
2004. At December 31, 2003, the Company accrued $30,000 related to the
future issuance of common stock.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
We are a network security solutions company providing security software
and consulting services to a variety of businesses and governmental agencies.
We offer software and consulting services specifically tailored to meet
the individual needs of our customers as well as classroom seminars for
coding engineers and managers focused on developing secure software.
Our primary security software is called Qwik-Fix(TM). Qwik-Fix(TM) is
designed to pro-actively prevent known and unknown software vulnerabilities
in Microsoft Windows and Internet Explorer from being exploited by hackers,
virus writers and worm writers. Qwik-Fix(TM) is simple to use, easy
to download and install. Qwik-Fix(TM) is dynamic in that it serves as
a proactive fix to known and unknown vulnerabilities until Microsoft
releases a periodic monthly cumulative patch or a new Service Pack. Qwik-
Fix(TM) is currently offered to subscribers for personal use at no charge.
Qwik-Fix Pro(TM) is currently in beta stage, being tested for commercial
use. To date, we have not generated revenues from software licenses.
We expect to release Qwik-Fix Pro(TM) in June 2004.
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 24,
1975. Prior to the reverse acquisition described below, our corporate
name was Drilling, Inc. Other than seeking and investigating potential
assets, properties or businesses to acquire, we had no business operations
since inception and were considered a development stage company as defined
in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7. Pursuant to a Securities
Purchase Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated March 10, 2004 by
and among Drilling, Inc., Pivx Solutions, LLC, a California limited liability
company ("Pivx Sub") and the members of Pivx Sub, Drilling, Inc. has
acquired 99% of the total membership interests of Pivx Sub outstanding.
We expect to acquire the remaining Pivx Sub membership interests outstanding
in subsequent closings. Drilling issued 1.55 shares of its common stock
for each Pivx membership interest transferred to Drilling. Since the
members of Pivx Sub acquired a majority of the issued and outstanding
shares of Drilling, Inc. and the Pivx Sub management team and board of
directors became the management team and board of directors of Drilling,
Inc., according to FASB Statement No. 141 - "Business Combinations,"
this acquisition has been treated as a recapitalization for accounting
purposes, in a manner similar to reverse acquisition accounting. In accounting
for this transaction:
o Pivx Sub is deemed to be the purchaser and surviving company for accounting
purposes. Accordingly, its net assets are included in the balance sheet
at their historical book values and the results of operations of Pivx
Sub have been presented for the comparative prior period;
o Control of the net assets of Drilling, Inc. was acquired effective
March 25, 2004. This transaction has been accounted for as a purchase
of the assets and liabilities of Drilling, Inc. by Pivx Sub. The historical
cost of the net liabilities assumed was $0.
o Because Drilling, Inc. had no business at the date of acquisition,
no goodwill was recorded in connection with the transaction.
o Merger-related expenses were charged to operations since the excess
of fair value of the merger services provided exceeded the fair value
of the net assets acquired of Drilling, Inc.
The above is considered a one-time critical accounting policy.
As a result of the transaction described above we changed our name from
Drilling, Inc. to PivX Solutions, Inc.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Upon the release of our Qwik-Fix Pro software expected in June 2004,
we will recognize software license fee revenue in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Position SOP 97-2 "Software Revenue Recognition,
" as amended by SOP 98-9, "Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect
to Certain Transactions." Software license fees will be charged for licenses
for security software to be delivered to customers for in-house applications.
Revenues from single-element software license agreements will be recognized
upon installation and acceptance of the software. Revenues from software
arrangements involving multiple elements will be allocated to the individual
elements based on their relative fair values. If services are considered
essential to the functionality of the software product, both the software
product revenue and service revenue will be recognized using the percentage
of completion method in accordance with the provisions of SOP 81-1, "Accounting
for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts."
Maintenance and rights to unspecified upgrades to licenses will be reported
ratably. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts will
be recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based
on the contract estimates. We will evaluate our revenue recognition practices
carefully to ensure compliance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
We issue common stock, and common stock purchase options and warrants
for compensation in the normal course of our business. We estimate the
value of services rendered based on the fair value of the equity consideration
issued to service providers. Historically, we used cash proceeds from
private placements as a determination of the fair value of common stock
issued for services. Prior to becoming a public company, we used the
minimum value method of for stock options and warrants, since there is
stock volatility as a private company. For common stock issued for services,
we will use market quotations after the completion of our current private
placement, which offered at $2.00 per share. We have not adopted SFAS
No. 123, fair value accounting for employee stock options. For options
issued to employees, we will continue to use APB No. 25, with complementary
disclosure of pro forma effects. Options and warrants issued to non-employees
will be accounted for using the fair value method, using the Black Scholes
valuation model. Warrants issued in connection of our private placement,
will reported net of the proceeds received. During the three months
ended March 31, 2004, we fairly valued merger-related expenses resulting
from common stock which was to be issued by us to our investment banker.
The investment banking firm waived its 3% merger fee in connection with
the reverse acquisition. We determined that since the reverse acquisition
transaction had closed, a charge to operations equal to the original
agreed upon fee of 3% was appropriate at a price of $2.00 per share was
necessary to comply with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, included
elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, have been prepared
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, which contemplate continuation as a going concern.
We have incurred a net loss of $1,711,035 for the three months ended
March 31, 2004 of which $1,287,490 consisted of a non-recurring, non-
cash transaction related to the above-described reverse acquisition.
As of March 31, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of $3,040,192. At
March 31, 2004, we had cash on hand of $780,128. We need additional capital
to market Qwik-Fix Pro and provide necessary infrastructure as a public
company These conditions raise substantial doubt as
15
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- -----------
to our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty. The consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification
of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities
that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Since our inception, our revenues have primarily been generated from
our security consulting services. In the last quarter of 2003, we elected
to change the primary focus of our business model from a purely professional
services-oriented firm to a product-oriented firm, with a focus on providing
Proactive Threat Mitigation(TM) software products and services to the
enterprise, government, education and end user markets. We have yet to
generate revenues from the licensing of our software, but by providing
proactive solutions which protect computer users from worms, viruses
and malware before they are attacked (rather than reactively in the manner
of AntiVirus, Firewall and Intrusion Detection solutions), we believe
our software products will have a competitive advantage in the network
and desktop security market. We are leveraging our expert domain knowledge
to create proactive solutions that effectively address today's increasing
and omni-present problems of worms and viruses.
Qwik-Fix Pro(TM), our flagship software product, is currently in beta
test and is expected to be available for shipment to the market in July,
2004. An earlier version of the product, called Qwik-Fix, was tested
in a free download beta release starting in October, 2003 and was downloaded
by thousands of users around the world. This product successfully demonstrated
the concept behind Proactive Threat Mitigation software by protecting
against many worms and viruses well before they were developed and released
on the Internet. A brief list of worms and viruses that were protected
against during the beta period included: Bagle, Bizex, MyDoom, Doom Juice,
Netsky, Blaster and the recent Sasser and it many variants. Qwik-Fix
Pro is an engineered and tested software product which extends that concept
with a breadth of additional protections, improved user interface, and
a management console which provides tools for management and reporting
of an enterprise installation of the product. Qwik-Fix Pro also provides
significant benefit to enterprises by reducing the urgency of distributing
software patches across the network, allowing IT staff the extra time
necessary to thoroughly regression test releases from Microsoft in order
to ensure that they do not interfere with the performance of their network
or applications. Qwik-Fix Pro will be sold on a subscription basis, with
discounts based on numbers of seats, and length of contract. We will
also provide discounts to educational institutions. While industry trends
are highly favorable, we have no revenue history for a product of Qwik-
Fix Pro's type. Therefore, market acceptance of our software remains
untested.
In addition to Qwik-Fix Pro, additional revenues will result from our
service offerings in the areas of computer forensics, security quality
assurance, vulnerability alerts and network scans. We expect that approximately
20% of our revenues will result from services. These services will serve
both to provide a revenue stream, and an on-going source of access to
real-world business problems, resulting in continued critical input into
our product development plans.
Expense growth will be primarily in the areas of sales and marketing,
security research, product development and customer service. We have
started building a direct sales effort in North America in addition to
developing channel partners and alliances. We have added senior staff
to direct these efforts. Significant additional resources will be devoted
to both hiring new staff and to marketing programs to support both direct
sales and partner channels. We will pursue revenue opportunities outside
of North America through partners and distributors in those regions.
We are currently in discussions related to distribution opportunities
in China, Japan, Europe and Latin and South America. We will also continue
an aggressive investment in security research, expanding on our existing
research capabilities, which provide the core of the value of Qwik-Fix
Pro. We also expect this investment to lead to future product development
opportunities. We believe our product development staff will grow, but
more slowly than sales and marketing or research. Customer service personnel
will grow in number as the penetration of Qwik-Fix Pro increases.

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- -----------
We recognize that the market pressures which validate the opportunity
for Qwik-Fix Pro are apparent to others and therefore we expect to experience
direct competition in the marketplace, though we are not aware of any
product in the market today which delivers the same or similar capability
as Qwik-Fix Pro. We also expect to compete to some extent with anti-virus
vendors, as they also claim to provide desktop computer security protection.
We will move into new offices on June 1, 2004. The 7,200 square foot
fully furnished space in an office park in Newport Beach, CA is subleased
over a term of 30 months. In addition to leasing the space, we have taken
sole legal possession of the furnishings with a replacement cost of approximately
$100,000 as a condition of the sublease. We are also in the process of
acquiring computer equipment and a new telephone system that will cost
us approximately $250,000. We expect to pay for this new equipment by
obtaining lease lines of credit at market rates.
LIQUIDITY AND CASH RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2004, we had working capital of $307,736. Because of
our exclusive focus on product and market development during the first
quarter of 2004, financial results show a loss of $1,711,035, which includes
$1,287,490 consisting of a non-recurring, non-cash transaction related
to the above-described reverse acquisition.
During the first quarter of 2004, we raised $1,009,520 in gross proceeds
from a private placement sale of 504,760 shares of our common stock.
We have used the net proceeds of the offering to hire additional product
developers and engineers and for working capital.
We will require additional capital of at least $3,000,000 to execute
on our plan of operations discussed in this report. We plan to use this
capital to hire additional developers and security researchers and to
increase our sales and marketing efforts. We plan to obtain the additional
working capital through additional private placement sales of our equity
securities. However, as of the date of this report, we have no commitments
for the sale of our securities nor can there be any assurance that such
funds will be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
Should we be unable to raise the required funds, our ability to finance
our continued growth will be materially adversely affected.
CASH POSITION AND USES OF CASH
Our cash and cash equivalents position as of March 31, 2004 was $780,
128.
During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we used $235,446 in cash
in our operating activities, as compared to $95,786 for the three months
ended March 31, 2003. We continue to use cash in operations, and we have
increased our expenditures compared to the prior year as we continue
to grow.
During the three months ended March 31, 2004, our financing activities
provided cash in the amount of $917,357, as compared to $25,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2003. The significant increase is due to
the sale of our common stock in private placement offerings in the first
quarter of 2004.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
We make written and oral statements from time to time in this Quarterly
Report regarding our business and prospects, such as projections of future
performance, statements of management's plans and objectives, forecasts
of market trends, and other matters that are forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Statements containing the
words or phrases "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue,
" "is anticipated," "estimates," "projects," "believes," "expects," "anticipates,
" "intends," "target," "goal," "plans," "objective," "should" or similar
expressions identify forward-looking statements, which may appear in
documents, reports, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
news releases, written or oral presentations made by officers or other
representatives made by us to analysts, stockholders, investors, news
organizations and others, and discussions with management and other representatives
of us. For such statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor
for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Our future results, including results related to
forward-looking statements, involve a number of risks and uncertainties
including our ability to obtain development financing as and when need;
the market's acceptance of our products; the successful development and
deployment of our software; changes in government regulation; our present
financial condition; increased competition and overall economic conditions.
No assurance can be given that the results reflected in any forward-looking
statements will be achieved. Any forward-looking statement made by or
on behalf of us speaks only as of the date on which such statement is
made. Our forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions that
are sometimes based upon estimates, data, communications and other information
from suppliers, government agencies and other sources that may be subject
to revision. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation
to update or keep current either (i) any forward-looking statement to
reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of such statement,
or (ii) the important factors that could cause our future results to
differ materially from historical results or trends, results anticipated
or planned by us, or which are reflected from time to time in any forward-
looking statement which may be made by or on behalf of us.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by SEC rules, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at the
end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was carried
out under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer.
Based on this evaluation, these officers have concluded that the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported,
within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure
controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in
the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated
to our management, including principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.

of stockholders shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section
5 of this Article II not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60)
days before the date of the meeting being noticed. The notice shall specify
the place, date and hour of the meeting and (i) in the case of a special

in the case of the annual meeting those matters which the board of directors,

meeting of stockholders shall be given either personally or by first-
class mail or telegraphic or other written communication, charges prepaid,
addressed to the stockholder at the address of such stockholder appearing
on the books of the corporation or given by the stockholder to the corporation
for the purpose of notice. If no such address appears on the corporation's
books or is given, notice shall be deemed to have been given if sent
by mail or telegram to the corporation's principal executive office,
or if published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in
the county where this office is located. Personal delivery of any such
notice to any officer of a corporation or association or to any member
of a partnership shall constitute delivery of such notice to such corporation,
association or partnership. Notice shall be deemed to have been given
at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the mail or sent
by telegram or other means of written communication. In the event of
the transfer of stock after delivery or mailing of the notice of and

If any notice addressed to a stockholder at the address of such stockholder
appearing on the books of the corporation is returned to the corporation
by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United
States Postal Service is unable to deliver the notice to the stockholder
at such address, all future notices or reports shall be deemed to have
been duly given without further mailing if the same shall be available
to the stockholder upon written demand of the stockholder at the principal
executive office of the corporation for a period of one year from the
date of the giving of such notice.
An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any
stockholders' meeting shall be executed by the secretary, assistant secretary
or any transfer agent of the corporation giving such notice, and shall
be filed and maintained in the minute book of the corporation.
2
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- -----------
Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited
to the purposes stated in the notice.
Section 6. QUORUM. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders
of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders
shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except as
otherwise provided by statute or the articles of incorporation. The stockholders
present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present
may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal
of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken
(other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the shares
required to constitute a quorum.
Section 7. ADJOURNED MEETING AND NOTICE THEREOF. Any stockholders' meeting,
annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned
from time to time by the vote of the majority of the shares represented
at such meeting, either in person or by proxy, but in the absence of
a quorum, no other business may be transacted at such meeting.
When any meeting of stockholders, either annual or special, is adjourned
to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting
if the time and place thereof are announced at a meeting at which the
adjournment is taken. At any adjourned meeting the corporation may transact
any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.
Section 8. VOTING. Unless a record date set for voting purposes be fixed
as provided in Section 1 of Article VIII of these bylaws, only persons
in whose names shares entitled to vote stand on the stock records of
the corporation at the close of business on the business day next preceding
the day on which notice is given (or, if notice is waived, at the close
of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting
is held) shall be entitled to vote at such meeting. Any stockholder entitled
to vote on any matter other than elections of directors or officers,
may vote part of the shares in favor of the proposal and refrain from
voting the remaining shares or vote them against the proposal, but, if
the stockholder fails to specify the number of shares such stockholder
is voting affirmatively, it will be conclusively presumed that the stockholder's
approving vote is with respect to all shares such stockholder is entitled
to vote. Such vote may be by voice vote or by ballot; provided, however,
that all elections for directors must be by ballot upon demand by a
stockholder at any election and before the voting begins.
When a quorum is present or represented at any meeting, the vote of the
holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person
or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such
meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of
the statutes or of the articles of incorporation a different vote is
required in which case such express provision shall govern and control
the decision of such question. Every stockholder of record of the corporation
shall be entitled at each meeting of stockholders to one vote for each
share of stock standing in his name on the books of the corporation.

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- -----------
Section 9. WAIVER OF NOTICE OR CONSENT BY ABSENT STOCKHOLDERS. The transactions
at any meeting of stockholders, either annual or special, however called
and noticed, and wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a
meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present
either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting,
each person entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs
a written waiver of notice or a consent to a holding of the meeting,
or an approval of the minutes thereof. The waiver of notice or consent
need not specify either the business to be transacted or the purpose
of any regular or special meeting of stockholders, except that if action
is taken or proposed to be taken for approval of any of those matters
specified in the second paragraph of Section 4 of this Article II, the
waiver of notice or consent shall state the general nature of such proposal.
All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate
records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.
Attendance of a person at a meeting shall also constitute a waiver of
notice of such meeting, except when the person objects, at the beginning
of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting
is not lawfully called or convened, and except that attendance at a meeting
is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters
not included in the notice if such objection is expressly made at the
meeting.
Section 10. STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING.
Any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders
may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent
in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders
of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes
that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting
at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.
All such consents shall be filed with the secretary of the corporation
and shall be maintained in the corporate records. Any stockholder giving
a written consent, or the stockholder's proxy holders, or a transferee

signed if the stockholder's name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual
signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the
stockholder or the stockholder's attorney in fact. A validly executed
proxy which does not state that it is irrevocable shall continue in full
force and effect unless revoked by the person executing it, prior to

therein the length of time for which it is to continue in force, which
in no case shall exceed seven (7) years from the date of its execution.
Subject to the above and the provisions of Section 78.355 of the Nevada

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES,
AND OTHER AGENTS
Section 1. ACTIONS OTHER THAN BY THE CORPORATION. The corporation may
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made
a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an
action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that
he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys'
fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if
he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, has no reasonable cause
to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit
or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea
of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption
that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Section 2. ACTIONS BY THE CORPORATION. The corporation may indemnify
any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right
of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the

corporation, or is or was
12
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- -----------
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement
and attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good
faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be
made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been
adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all
appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid
in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that
the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent
jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances
of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity
for such expenses as the court deems proper.
Section 3. SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE. To the extent that a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits
or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to

he must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses, including
attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with the defense.
Section 4. REQUIRED APPROVAL. Any indemnification under Sections 1 and
2, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to Section 5, must
be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon
a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee
or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made:
(a) By the stockholders;
(b) By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting
of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding;
(c) If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not
parties to the act, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion; or
(d) If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act,
suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel
in a written opinion.
Section 5. ADVANCE OF EXPENSES. The articles of incorporation, the bylaws
or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the expenses
of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action,
suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred
and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer
to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
The provisions of this section do not affect any rights to advancement
of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or officers
may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.
Section 6. OTHER RIGHTS. The indemnification and advancement of expenses
authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to this Article VI:
13
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- -----------
(a) Does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification
or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation
or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors
or otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action
in another capacity while holding his office, except that indemnification,
unless ordered by a court pursuant to Section 2 or for the advancement
of expenses made pursuant to Section 5, may not be made to or on behalf
of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his
acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing
violation of the law and was material to the cause of action.
(b) Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer,
employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such a person.
Section 7. INSURANCE. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance
on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise for any liability
asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising
out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have
the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions
of this Article VI.

representative of the corporation shall be deemed to be doing so in reliance
upon the rights of indemnification provided by this Article.
Section 9. SEVERABILITY. If any of the provisions of this Article are
held to be invalid or unenforceable, this Article shall be construed
as if it did not contain such invalid or unenforceable provision and
the remaining provisions of this Article shall remain in full force and
effect.
Section 10. RETROACTIVE EFFECT. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, the rights and powers granted pursuant to this Article VI shall
apply to acts and actions occurring or in progress prior to its adoption
by the board of directors.

GENERAL CORPORATE MATTERS
Section 1. RECORD DATE. For purposes of determining the stockholders
entitled to notice of any meeting or to vote or entitled to receive payment
of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or entitled
to exercise any rights in respect of any other lawful action, the board
of directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more
than sixty
(60) days nor less than ten (10) days prior to the date of any such meeting
nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action, and in such
case only stockholders of record on the date so fixed are entitled to
notice and to vote or to receive the dividend, distribution or allotment
of rights or to exercise the rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding
any transfer of any shares on the books of the corporation after the
record date fixed as aforesaid, except as otherwise provided in the Nevada
General Corporation Law.
If the board of directors does not so fix a record date:
15
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- -----------
(a) The record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of
or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business
on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice
is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding
the day on which the meeting is held.
(b) The record date for determining stockholders entitled to give consent
to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action
by the board has been taken, shall be the day on which the first written
consent is given.
(c) The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose
shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board adopts
the resolution relating thereto, or the sixtieth (60th) day prior to
the date of such other action, whichever is later.
Section 2. CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS PROHIBITED. In connection with the
determination of stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting or to
vote or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution
or allotment of any rights or entitled to exercise any right in respect
of any other lawful action, the board of directors shall not close the
stock transfer books of the corporation for any reason but shall instead
fix a record date for such determination in the manner provided in Section
1 of Article VIII of these bylaws.
Section 3. REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS. The corporation shall be entitled
to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books
as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner,
and to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on
its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize
any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on
the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or
other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Nevada.
Section 4. CHECKS, DRAFTS, EVIDENCES OF INDEBTEDNESS. All checks, drafts
or other orders for payment of money, notes or other evidences of indebtedness,
issued in the name of or payable to the corporation, shall be signed
or endorsed by such person or persons and in such manner as, from time
to time, shall be determined by resolution of the board of directors.
Section 5. CORPORATE CONTRACTS AND INSTRUMENTS; HOW EXECUTED. The board
of directors, except as in the bylaws otherwise provided, may authorize
any officer or officers, agent or agents, to enter into any contract
or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation,
and such authority may be general or confined to specific instances;
and, unless so authorized or ratified by the board of directors or within
the agency power or authority to bind the corporation by any contract
or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any
purpose or to any amount.
Section 6. STOCK CERTIFICATES. A certificate or certificates for shares
of the capital stock of the corporation shall be issued to each stockholder
when any such shares are fully paid, and the board of directors may authorize
the issuance of certificates or shares as partly paid provided that such
certificates shall state the amount of the consideration to be paid therefor
and the amount paid thereon. All certificates shall be signed in the
name of the corporation by the president or vice president and by the
treasurer or an
16
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- -----------
assistant treasurer or the secretary or any assistant secretary, certifying
the number of shares and the class or series of shares owned by the stockholder.
When the corporation is authorized to issue shares of more than one class
or more than one series of any class, there shall be set forth upon the
face or back of the certificate, or the certificate shall have a statement
that the corporation will furnish to any stockholders upon request and
without charge, a full or summary statement of the designations, preferences
and relatives, participating, optional or other special rights of the
various classes of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations
or restrictions of such rights, and, if the corporation shall be authorized
to issue only special stock, such certificate must set forth in full
or summarize the rights of the holders of such stock. Any or all of the
signatures on the certificate may be facsimile. In case any officer,
transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature
has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer,
transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may
be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such person were
an officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.
No new certificate for shares shall be issued in place of any certificate
theretofore issued unless the latter is surrendered and cancelled at
the same time; provided, however, that a new certificate may be issued
without the surrender and cancellation of the old certificate if the
certificate thereto fore issued is alleged to have been lost, stolen
or destroyed. In case of any such allegedly lost, stolen or destroyed
certificate, the corporation may require the owner thereof or the legal
representative of such owner to give the corporation a bond (or other
adequate security) sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that
may be made against it (including any expense or liability) on account
of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or
the issuance of such new certificate.
Section 7. DIVIDENDS. Dividends upon the capital stock of the corporation,
subject to the provisions of the articles of incorporation, if any,
may be declared by the board of directors at any regular or special meeting
pursuant to law. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares
of the capital stock, subject to the provisions of the articles of incorporation.
Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds
of the corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the directors
from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve
or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for
repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, or for such
other purpose as the directors shall think conducive to the interest
of the corporation, and the directors may modify or abolish any such
reserves in the manner in which it was created.
Section 8. FISCAL YEAR. The fiscal year of the corporation shall be fixed
by resolution of the board of directors.
Section 9. SEAL. The corporate seal shall have inscribed thereon the
name of the corporation, the year of its incorporation and the words
"Corporate Seal, Nevada."
Section 10. REPRESENTATION OF SHARES OF OTHER CORPORATIONS. The chairman
of the board, the president, or any vice president, or any other person
authorized by resolution of the board of directors by any of the foregoing
designated officers, is authorized to vote on behalf of the corporation
any and all shares of any other corporation or corporations, foreign
or domestic, standing in the name of the corporation. The authority herein
granted to said officers to vote or represent on behalf of the corporation
any and all shares held by the corporation in any other corporation or
corporations may be exercised by any such officer in person or by any
person authorized to do so by proxy duly executed by said officer.
17
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction, and definitions
in the Nevada General Corporation Law shall govern the construction of

number includes the plural, the plural number includes the singular,
